One more thing to add. I live in a remote area on 2 1/2 acres of land so I only occasionally pick up 1 bar of my next door neighbors linksys router. Other than that there is no competing SSID besides devices in the house.

Yes my desktop is hardlined and I get 100Mbps to my NAS and internet speeds consistent with wifi from my ISP, about 30Mbps

I've done this a few times. I used speedtest.net on multiple computers (work laptop, personal laptop, and two phones) and they all perform horrible on 2.4 and at advertised speeds on 5ghz. Also; I used NAStester to test local internet speeds (transfer to / from my Synology NAS) and the same...

Also - I will try some of the steps in this thread and report back. Thanks all.

Hey guys Did you try .44 ? I was on .43 with the issue and went to .44 this morning and had the same issue. Interestingly, I went back to my old (WRT-610N Linksys) router and noticed that my 2.4ghz seems slow there as well, which it didn't before. Also, this Asus router was performing OK...

Hey guys. I have an AC66R with 374.43 AsusWRT merlin http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/forums/images/editor/attach.gif This is my 2nd one. The speeds on 2.ghz are unusable. Speedtest.net shows internet speeds on 5ghz band at 40Mbps which is expected 2.4ghz band gets only 2.2 Mbps...

I have the same issue with my AC66u . On my 2nd and it still has crappy 2.4ghz performance.

dude, smiley face emotican :D

Thanks. Shame on me for not seeing that earlier. Appreciate the help again.

That's what I'm checking. It was a refurbished unit from Newegg. I'd rather just RMA it now and see if a new unit solves my issues.

No, the thing is with my old Linksys wrt610n I never had this issue at all. They were rock solid. I'm still wondering if it's just a bad unit, as a result of it being a refurb.... I'll give the bandwidth a try. I left everything as default.

PS the NAS speed seems OK, ..." advertised read speed of 110 MB/s and 54 MB/s write when configured in RAID 1" So I guess I need to look at the read speeds for some reason but it's not like it's crazy off. Also I realize this is a stupid newb kind aquestion but I just realized I...

I can't recall what I'm getting. I have Cat6 from my desktop to my router, and then cat6 from the router to the synology. Synology has 2 WD Red 3tb drives in it. I think the benchmark performance on the synology is about 80 - 100 so it is a bit slow for some reason. not sure why exactly...

Thanks rmerlin. Appreciate your effort on this firmware, by the way! Found this in the log: Jun 3 01:19:35 cstats[329]: Problem loading /mnt/USB_DISK/tomato_cstats_ac220b3109a8.gz. Still trying... Any tips on how to get this fixed? Is my path just wrong? The home page of the router...
